In Oregon, OYSA=ECNL=GDA

This is hilarious. So true

It doesn't give legitimacy to respond to your own post. That entire thing was incoherent and fake. But I'm glad you amused yourself. Keep trolling

GDA has a ton of problems, but the top players on the oldest team aren't going anywhere. They are already committed and even as the GDA price continues to rise it is cheaper than any other alternative that provides a higher level of play than OYSA. GDA has caved and let them do other high school sports like basketball and track. They know they have all the power and can do what they want. Expect most of them to play HS soccer this year too. What can Thorns do - cut them? And replace them with who?

The younger teams are a completely different story. They are hemorrhaging top players at an alarming rate.

Without younger players there is no future. Without better clubs and competition there is no future

The oldest team Is good but the other ages really struggle.

The oldest team has at least one commit. They won’t get shut out. To be fair some of the players probably aren’t even interested in college.

The younger teams I have no comment on. Nothing good to stay so I will not say anything at all.

This poster seems to be focused on one age group (2002) at one tournament (Crossfire). You should look, however, across all of the age groups at that particular tournament. For the most part, you'll find all ECNL teams in the semis and above. For other tournaments, it is the same with GDA teams doing well as well.

Anyone could point out most any Ecnl bs. I’m sure you could find plenty of games where Ecnl teams are doormats now. It’s not a very good league currently.

Claiming to be the best while not playing the best. Then when they lose to the mediocre the one time they play them they claim it’s just one instance.

Doesn’t take much to point that out.

Fc Portland 01 Ecnl was 4th in OYSA

Same can be said about GDA.

All these posts about Oregon soccer is weak nationally is really untrue. I did a quick search of the top 2 national clubs here which are ECNL and GDA. Here are the standings and records don't lie. It looks like overall, Oregon soccer is pretty good. Especially ECNL appears to be doing great early on.

ECNL record/ national standing

DA record (none are nationally ranked)

Aren't the Thorns being run by Westside now? Westside might be able to help get more college recruits.

I know the Thorns are more of a pro track but it is really surprising if they only have one or two college commits. Maybe Westside can help that?

Others are saying that OYSA is just as good as far as commits. There are Pac12 commits from oysa, gda and ecnl. The Pac12 coaches are no longer making the players move out of OYSA to a more elite league so no top players need to stay in any particular league. Stay in or move to whichever league you like the most whether it be oysa, gda or ecnl. The league doesn’t matter. The player matters.

Ecnl league is terrible. Playing everyones b teams.

Do you realize that before the da gutting all those teams couldn’t even score goals?

I’m not making it up. Crossfire United Ecnl has teams that scored less than 4 goals all season.

You don’t get to rank yourself when you play garbage teams that get beat by everyone else.

Crossfire United Ecnl when they had to play OYSA teams tied 4th place Eastside
2-2

Eastide turned around and beat crossfire wa Ecnl 3-2.

Pac nw before they went to Ecnl lost to all of the top 4 rcl teams.

Just because you hide and play b teams makes you nationally ranked b team.

This is such BS. An ECNL team woudn't play an OYSA team. What age group or when was this game even played? Years ago?
There is no such team/club as Crossfire Washington. How did Eastside beat a team that does not even exist.
I will agree Pac NW is not great, but they're new, they'll fine their way.
But quit making stuff up.

That is the only response you can give. That is old, tired, and been disproved through many threads. Just repeating false unsubstantiated claims does not make it true. Evidence in fact supports the opposite in girls soccer. Come to me with some facts and then you may be believed. Well those b teams in common opponents has been outplaying them (you look it up). Also, as been proven through other threads and supporting articles, many teams are returning to the better competition and product which is ECNL. I won't do your homework for you, but go back and read. I'll be here waiting to see your well thought out response that is just loaded with emotion and opinion with zero fact or evidence. I love a good debate, but your empty responses are laughable.

A perfect example is of made up facts you are making is "I’m not making it up. Crossfire United Ecnl has teams that scored less than 4 goals all season."

First of all Soccer development isn't about only scoring goals so maybe you should come with a valid argument. Second, we should always be wary of the poster that starts with I'm not making this up. I don't even know why I engage, of course that means you are making this up (fact checking is so easy with Google). I just this once want to show how ridiculous you are how simple that is to prove. Let me make this easy so even you understand... GF means how many goals they scored against other teams, GA means how many goals are score against their team... Is that clear?

GF/GA through only 5 games which is hardly a season

06 14/4
05 25/3
04 9/4
03 15/3
02 17/4
01/00 9/7

All which are above that 4 goal mark you mentioned. I truly feel sorry for you that you feel it necessary to come on here and lie. Sad...

This is the same person just trolling. Not one thing is true on this post. Should have at least made up a team that exists so we would have wasted some time looking for this made up match.

There is a big banner at Eastside that says they are the Thorns now.

Are you that in the dark? How uninformed are you?

This was this year and yes they played.

Crossfire wa is the only crossfire in washfinton xf premier.

I should write this in crayon for you? Come back when you know something.
